Top Picks Analysis: General manager Mickey Loomis and head coach Sean Payton
are back in charge after being sidelined during the Bountygate scandal and
they snared Vaccaro at No. 15 overall, the draft's best safety and a potential
All-Pro defender. Armstead is as raw as it gets but is a freaky athlete, even
better than Oklahoma tackle Lane Johnson, and a possible replacement for the
departed Jermon Bushrod. Jenkins, meanwhile, is a huge man who is incredibly
quick and nimble.

Best Value Pick: Stills needs to get far more physical but he has great hands
and will love the catchable ball Drew Brees throws.

Questionable Calls: If New Orleans expects Armstead to jump right in to things
without any hiccups, it may be asking too much. The Arkansas Pine-Bluff
product faced sub-par competition at the college level and needs to add to his
lower body strength so he can fend off the bull rush.

Summary: The Saints defense was a mess in '12, finishing at the bottom of the
league in a number of defensive categories. When Payton returned he fired
coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and hired Rob Ryan to make the switch to 3-4
scheme, meaning the team must fine fits. Vaccaro and Jenkins were a good start
but plenty more needs to be done.
